haha thanks guys! i think it took me a total of 24 working hours, if you dont include a bunch of trips to home depot and radio shack for all the little necessities, and about 2 hours to go to sears and get a lug bolt extractor, and take off my broken wheel lock because my homeboy had over torqued and broke my wheel lock key and one wheel lock... lolz

Very nice build man. Is it that the tsx coilover? Anyway, I guess I don't need to replace the rack after all. Today, it was not leaking, it had a few drip after the engine turned off but not like yesterday it was leaked constantly. I think I just replace both the boots and pray it doesn't leak again.

Yea the Kit was for a TSX and i asked ksport to give me the Legend top mounts instead of the tsx ones. the whole shabang cost me about $3,000. it was $2,700 for the kit $100 for them to swap the tsx top mounts for the legend ones (they mounted them too) and about $200 for all the little parts, supplies, and other little things from home depot and radio shack, (and gas, food, redbulls, and cigs) lolz

all in all, id have to say it was well worth the money, kept me busy, allowed me to wrench on my car which is something i love doing, its convenient, and the compliments everyone has been giving me on not only how cool it is, but that i did all the work myself. "you did this?!" "you installed it yourself?!" I just love hearing people say that! Its a strange and good sense of accomplishment, not only just seeing the final product, but to hear people say that... FEELS SO GOOD!!!

haha your telling me, this was my first air install,
granted ive done other suspensions before, worked on a lot of other cars, and went to school for automotive, but... there is always that first time gitters lolz

I think thats why it took me so long also, working on the fittings and hoses took me about 8 hrs and the trunk setup another 8 hrs, just because i spent a lot of time going over the connections, checking, rechecking and then re-rechecking everything, making sure i had enough silicone sealant tape, and silicone sealant paste, making sure that fitting nuts were tight, etc...

If you or anyone is going to attempt to install air suspension, let me know, i got plenty of tips, tricks, hints, advice, instructions, etc...
i can pretty much walk you through the process
